Eggs have so much nutrition to offer our pets! Talk about a superfood! 🥚 🐶🐾🐈🥚

“Eggshells are rich in calcium carbonate, about 800 milligrams! And the slippery membrane that lines the inside of the shell is loaded with collagen, elastin, protein, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitin, which provide fantastic joint support. Supplementing with eggshell membranes has even been shown to reduce joint pain by 72.5 percent.” - The Forever Dog LIFE

Eggshell membrane, a natural byproduct of the egg industry, has gained significant attention as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential. The key proteins in ESM (Eggshell membrane) play a fundamental role in cartilage health (1). While collagens provide tensile strength to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid (HA) help maintain hydration and elasticity (2).

Furthermore, collagen types I, V, and X, elastin, and various growth factors included in ESM are critical for supporting cartilage repair (3). These properties make ESM an attractive candidate for promoting cartilage repair, especially in degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis (4). Similar to humans, dogs experience osteoarthritis, where chronic inflammation triggers oxidative stress, causing chondrocyte death, cartilage breakdown, and degradation of the ECM, ultimately leading to joint degeneration (5). Eggshell membrane has been shown to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines and improve joint health in animal models and human studies, making it a popular ingredient in dietary supplements (6).

More help for those affected by the fires. 🐾🔥😢

UPDATE: If you have further questions about discounted items, or making or receiving donations, please contact our Customer Success Group at 510-609-3600 (Mon-Sun, 9am-5:30pm).

Dear Pet Food Express Customers,

I am filled with great emotion as I write this letter. We at Pet Food Express are heartbroken over the devastation caused by the fires in Southern California. As a native Angelino, I am crushed to see so many of my favorite parts of our beautiful city leveled.

In addition to the tragic loss of personal property, historic buildings, and national landmarks, a number of residents have lost their beloved animals. While most were able to save their pets, some were injured. As a result, the Pasadena Humane Society and LA County Animal Care & Control have created triage spaces for lost and injured pets. We are working with these organizations and we will do what we can to help them continue to operate in this capacity. Both are desperately asking for monetary donations to help with medical care for the animals. To donate, or for information on how to get help, visit https://pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon-fire-update/ or https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/emergency-animal-shelter-information-los-angeles-county-fires/.

For the thousands of residents who were forced to move without the ability to grab the things you need, we are here to help. If you have been affected by any of the recent Southern California wildfires, we currently have pet carriers, crates, beds, bowls, leashes, collars and medical supplies available at extremely low cost. Please see one of our in-store associates for details. To find a location near you, click https://www.petfood.express/stores/.

In addition, we have turned our Long Beach - Bixby Knolls location into a donation and distribution center. Items in need are pet carriers, crates, beds, bowls, leashes and collars. If you have a need, or have something to donate, the store is located at 4220 Long Beach Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90807.

None of us know how long it will take for Los Angeles to recover but know we are here to help.

We love you, Los Angeles.

Sincerely,
Denyelle Bruno
CEO, Pet Food Express
